Hi.
As I said in the title, my laptop won't start.
Last Friday, I was using the internet, clicked on a link and went to the kitchen to check on something while it was loading. I come back and find that my computer screen is white except for some repeating pixels that might have been part of a graphic on the page I was about to visit. I turned off my computer and then turned it back on again. All the lights turned on but the screen remained black, then after a while the lights turned off for a second then turned back on again. I asked someone more knowledgable on computers than me what to do and they said to get my recovery disk and use it.
I got out all the stuff that came with the computer and couldn't find a recovery disk, but I found something saying that I had to make one myself. I looked a little harder and found something else that said I could download one off of the internet. Then I searched online (I'm using a public computer at the moment), and found the one for Vista on this site, but I don't have a disc with me so I can't download it. I figured that since I was here I might as well ask for some advice on what to do.
I have a HP pavilion laptop that runs on Vista. That's all the information I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's more that someone else can think of and I can't.
